Epson Stylus C84

492: Epson Stylus C84

Software



Epson doesn't supply a huge amount of software with the C84, but what it does supply is of good quality.


Only one CD comes with the printer and you can install the all the software modules in one go or choose specific ones only.


This is what you see when firing up the printer driver configuration. The default mode is a simplified layout.


Advanced mode is slightly more intimidating for the inexperienced, but it does allow a lot more flexibility.


The second tab lets you configure page layout.


The third and final tab leads to various maintenance functions like head cleaning and alignment as well as the printer status monitor screen.


And here is the printer status monitor screen.


The printer driver pops up a plug for Epson paper, urging you to load Epson media for even better results. Comically, this pops up even when the paper choice is already set to Epson paper.


Only five pre-set paper types are offered by the driver and only two of those are specific Epson papers: Durabrite Glossy and Heavyweight Matte.


But there is no shortage of paper sizes to choose from.


If required, the photoenhance option lets you tweak the image quality with easy to understand pictorial cues.


Besides Epson Vivid, the default mode, you can choose a colour mode specifically for printing charts and diagrams on plain paper. Colour management can also be switched off, which can be usefull when preparing printer profiles.

The other main bundled application is Epson's Photoquicker 3.40. This is a thumbnail preview and print ordering utility that includes some basic image editing facilities as well.


Here you can choose the media size for the image you want to print. You can also choose how many copies are required. These choices can be applied to several prints to form a batch process.
